Ose, Izu

Jagged rocky islets with wind-bent pines rise from a deep blue sea rendered in bold black-outlined facets, small whitecaps breaking against the stone. Above, a pale golden-yellow sky holds a single horizontal band of thin, calligraphic cloud lines. Ose, Izu, a mokuhanga print by Hiratsuka Un'ichi (date unknown), shown here as a print mounted on a larger backing sheet with faint marginal inscriptions.
